There's something magical about hosting a party outdoors. The fresh air, the open skies, the space to mingle, dance, and celebrate—it all adds up to an unforgettable experience. But when the British weather decides to get involved, your dream outdoor party can quickly turn into a game of chance.

There's something genuinely magical about an outdoor party. Whether it's a birthday bash, anniversary celebration, garden get-together, or just a reason to gather friends and family, celebrating outdoors offers space, fresh air, and plenty of fun.

Whether it's a music festival, food fair, community celebration, or cultural gathering, marquees are the unsung heroes of the festival world. At Zest Marquees, we've supported countless outdoor events across Northamptonshire and beyond, helping festival organisers bring their vision to life with style, comfort, and practicality.

We all know the Great British weather can be a bit… unpredictable. One minute, it’s glorious sunshine; the next, it’s pouring down with rain—or a surprise gust of wind threatens your table settings! But don’t let the forecast dampen your plans. With clever tricks and thoughtful planning, your marquee event can go off without a hitch—rain or shine.

When creating unforgettable marquee events, it's not just about the structure or the setting—it's about the atmosphere. And nothing elevates the atmosphere quite like live entertainment. Whether planning a dreamy wedding reception, a lively corporate party, or a garden celebration with friends, incorporating the right entertainment can take your event from memorable to legendary.

When planning a marquee event, the catering setup is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Whether you're hosting a wedding, corporate function, birthday party, or festival, the food and drink you provide can make or break the experience for your guests. But with so many catering options available—buffet, sit-down dining, food trucks, or even grazing tables—it can be challenging to decide which setup works best for your event.

Spring is in the air, and Easter is the perfect excuse to gather family and friends for a fun-filled celebration! As the season of renewal, Easter events are all about fresh air, colourful décor, and making special memories. However, the unpredictable British weather can often dampen outdoor plans. That's where a marquee comes in!
